+ What's New in Python 2.1.4?
+ Release date: XX-XXX-2003
+ ===========================
+ 
+ - Some documentation fixes.
+ 
+ - SF #577530, #533625: security fixes for rexec.py.  I still wouldn't
+   trust it as the only line of defense between a machine and the
+   Internet!
+ 
+ - SF #590294, #601077: os._execvpe security fix (plus fix for the fix).
+ 
+ - Link errno extension statically.
+ 
+ - Backported various httplib.py fixes.
+ 
+ - Backported various SSL fixes.
+ 
+ - Fix posixpath.py so that when stat() fails with EOVERFLOW (meaning a
+   file larger than 2 GB in a build that doesn't support LFS), this is
+   correctly taken as an indication of the file's existence.
+ 
+ - SF #523473: raise exceptions on error conditions.
+ 
+ - SF #561858: avoid assertion when writing code objects with stacksize
+   >= 2**16.
+ 
+ - SF #210682: fixed an old bug that caused bdb to be unable to
+   continue in the bottom frame, after a breakpoint was set
+ 
+ - Fix rfc822.py to support dots in the "real name" part of email
+   addresses, per RFC 2822.
+ 
+ - Repaired widespread misuse of _PyString_Resize.
+ 
+ - SF #544473: use try/finally to ensire all Queue locks remain stable.
+ 
+ - Fixed two obscure bugs in nested scopes.
+ 
+ - Changes to the configure script to avoid problems with binutils 2.12.
+ 
+ - SF #543318: fix bogus initialization in DatagramRequestHandler.setup().
+ 
+ - SF #541730: provisional fix to IDLE for losing data when attempting
+   to save a file containing non-ASCII characters.  The fix consists of
+   raising an exception *before* overwriting the file rather than
+   after.  You still can't save files with non-ASCII characters (this
+   is fixed in Python 2.2).
+ 
+ - Sometimes the uninstall executable (UNWISE.EXE) vanishes.  One cause
+   of that has been fixed in the installer (disabled Wise's "delete in-
+   use files" uninstall option).
+
